Gap: Down gap
Gap closed: No
Position price at 9:30: below prior day HL
IB direction: Long
DAX Short trade
Entry 10:00 @ 15592
Exit 13:30 @ 15634
SL 42 pts
Result -42 pts
Historical results with this setup:
537 pts (10 trades/win% 80%)
FESX, a short 9:30-10:30 SL 13pts looks good. > 0.5 pts profit
Both based on only 10 historical trades, but with the not closed down gaps, this is what it gives
Let’s see

Gap : No gap

Position price at 9:30: above prior day HL

Doesn't give a good trade, as there are not many occassions that match the filter 'above prior day HL'.
FESX: Long trade 11:30-14:00 SL 15pts (based on 34 trades/76% winners) > edit 21:12: Loss 2pts

NQ is giving some nice trades:
Just gonna watch it
edit 18:05: So, from the image, 1130 entry is 1800 CET and SL24 = 71pts (24% of the ATR , and the ATR is pretty high currently......)
edit 8:42: would be a loss of 47,5 pts. Anyway, US trades should run till latest 21:30 CET to stay out of the 'market closing'

In this case, it's hard to pick the trade. 1030-1100 is giving better win %, but the points/trade when trading till 14:00 are much better...
DAX Long trade
Entry 10:30 @ 15657
Exit 14:00 @ 15611
SL 46 pts
Result -46 pts
Historical results with this setup:
457 pts (22 trades/win% 77%)

FESX: Long 9:30-11:00 SL 16pts looks ok. >> 16p loss

Not looking great for a trade.
I'll be very selective in the next weeks. 3 losses in a row is reason to be more careful and to review. Also, the next days are weird due to future contract roll-over, then it's christmas week, then new years week.
FESX, a long trade from 11:30-14:30 SL 12pts looks good. >> 2,5 pts profit

Yesterday there were no good trades coming out of my system. FIO was offline due to the hurricanes, so couldn’t post.
Today the future contracts roll-over at 13:00 and IFO at 10:00.
FDAX
Gap : Down gap
Gap closed during IB: No
Position price at 9:30: below prior day HL
IB direction: short
12 years of data X 4 roll-over per year, gives a sample size of 48. I will only look at IB to see if anything tradeable comes out, and trade till latest 12:30.
Nothing good, so no trade today.
Same for FESX.

The next 2 weeks before and after Xmas I will only take trades that look really good, that means a good balance between win%, pts per trade and sample size.
